Man of the Trees - Selected Writings of Richard St. Barbe Baker

Edited by Karen Gridley. Foreword by Charles J. Lankester.
8-page Biographical Introduction. Published by Ecology Action, 1989.
120 pages, Hardcover or Softcover, 22 black & white photographs.



This compilation is drawn from seven of St. Barbe's books and is carefully focused on passages that present his ideas about "our relationship to the natural environment, and in particular, to trees and forests."

It is grouped into nine chapters: Woodland Rebirth, Forest Community, Sylvan Heritage, Trees and Life, Skin of the Earth, Ancient Groves, Desert Challenge, History Repeats, and New Earth.

The Introduction to this book is one of the most concise and accurate biographical sketches of St. Barbe ever published.

This is an unpretentious book - beautifully conceived, affordable, indispensable.
